Not that I ever do, I don’t have money even for second hand shit. But sometimes I get drawn into checking out the windows (I like guitars and electronics, that seems to be all those places sell).

    There's nothing wrong with buying stuff from pawnshops.

    If you like guitars, you'll find decent stuff you wouldn't normally be looking for in pawnshops. At least where I live, the pawnshops were usually goldmines for finding used Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters at better prices than what you would get from Guitar Center or listed on Reverb.com. I bought 3 Strats from a pawnshop that had great necks with only minor fret wear and just needed some electronics replacements to be usable in gigging situations. I personally love Strats and Teles cause those guitars are so easy to do work on since the pickups and all electronics are routed under the pickguard. So long as the guitar has a decent neck, all the electronics can be replaced.
